hey foxey! it's ME.


i got the bigger harddrive, because, well she asked me to. Hee. actually the old drive is 4 gig and she needs to keep records. I was going to just have her save it all to disk, but figured 6 of one half dozen of the other, in getting a burner.

she's also notorious for downloading every damn little thing, so let her have plenty of room to muck it up, and a few years down the line, her dad can fix it for her or build her a new one or soemthing.



As for WinXP - i've bumped the ram to 256, it's still a PII, 300 mhz, and that is just slightly above the minimum for XP, but the other option is 2000. her dad can send us the software for that too, but do you think performance-wise it will make that much of a difference?


btw - the coax card got me thinking - she's doing all this in preparation of making the grand transition from aol dial-up to cable modem. w00t. i should prolly swap that out too huh? i'm presuming considering the specs that all of this was put together prolly in 2000. What were network cards like back then? could i use the coax card? it's got what appears to be a regular network jack on it, as well as the coax plug.
